What Is The Dr Wheatgrass Secret For Healthier Skin?

This spray has substantial benefits compared with other skin care products because it contains high levels of the Grass Juice Factor. This Factor contains powerful molecules essential for cell growth, tissue renewal and enhancement of the natural recovery process.

Researchers have described many of the biologically active substances in Dr Wheatgrass, but have yet to ascertain the exact nature of the elusive 'Grass Juice Factor'. It is known to be present in all the cereal grasses and a number of other plants such as peas, cabbage, spinach and white clover. In cereal grasses, it is known to be in highest concentration in the young grass and
diminishes as the plant ages.

Among other properties, the Factor has powerful growth and fertility effects in experimental animals. In one case, pigs were fed cereal grass supplements for seven weeks and gained weight rapidly. Weight gain stopped almost immediately the cereal grass was withdrawn and replaced with a mineralised milk diet only. When cereal grass was reintroduced, rapid weight gain resumed.

Medical Applications

Clinical and research evidence has shown this 'factor' to have, among other properties, a powerful effect on the regeneration of damaged skin and improvement in health in general. Since 1995, Dr. Chris Reynolds (Dr Wheatgrass), a Melbourne-based family physician has observed numerous healing phenomena when using a Dr Wheatgrass extract for a broad spectrum of medical
conditions such as wound-healing, burns, fractures, soft tissue injuries, anal fissure and molluscum contagiosum to name a few. Clearly there was "something happening" that begged an explanation.

These findings prompted him to attempt to formulate a possible physiological mechanism that might explain at least some of his observations. Researchers had already described numerous biological actives in cereal grasses, but none of them seemed to explain the apparently enormously broad spectrum of conditions that improved using Dr Wheatgrass. Nor did they explain the sometimes astonishing rate that healing occurred.

It eventually came to him that the most likely way in which Dr Wheatgrass worked was by facilitating the body's own natural ability to heal itself. After all, that's how it appeared for instance with burns. Initially, pain was relieved soon after application. Then, overnight, a new surface became visible over the open burn that appeared to seal it and isolate it from the surrounding germ-laden air. No anitbiotics were
required, and healing was rapid and uncomplicated from that point on, with minimal scarring. Having treated burns for some 25 years, he was left with no doubt that the natural healing process was being significantly enhanced by the Dr Wheatgrass, compared with previous clinical experience.

How Does It Work?

Clearly, something was happening with his patients' immune system. It was being supported, facilitated and apparently strengthened. Dr Wheatgrass was also working for auto-immune conditions such as acne rosacea, psoriasis and in some cases multiple sclerosis. These and many other observations led him to believe Dr Wheatgrass was acting as an immunostimulant or
immunomodulator. In other words, the wheatgrass was helping the body to "normalise" tissue damaged by its own immune cells that are normally expected to heal, but for some reason go wrong and turn against the body.

Review of the medical research surrounding the cereal grasses revealed numerous references to the healing effects of chlorophyll, the much touted molecule that supposedly has an important role in physical healing. Now Dr. Reynolds (Dr Wheatgrass), by observing thousands of Dr Wheatgrass "healing episodes" was able to duplicate many of the clinical results researchers had shown in the past such as burns
recovery, wound and fracture healing and many others.

But there was no chlorophyll in the extract he was using! The question then remained as to what was actually causing these phenomena. Dr. Reynolds' (Dr Wheatgrass') guess? The Grass Juice Factor. But what on earth is it, and how do we find it? After all, scientists have been trying to identify it since the 1930's.

Well, it appears the most likely explanation of the ability of Dr Wheatgrass to facilitate the healing process is due to the presence of Growth Factor Activators. These are small molecules that stimulate growth factor activity. There are many types of growth factor in the body that are responsible for cell growth, recovery, repair and many other functions. One of their major functions is control of the immune response
and the immune status of the individual. They are also responsible for tissue repair and the production of blood elements by bone marrow and other blood producing cells.

A Scientific Breakthrough

Recently in Melbourne, at a prestigious research laboratory, DNA technology developed for the Human Genome Project was used to detect the presence of a specific biological activity of Dr. Reynolds' Dr Wheatgrass extract. This was a world first for a herbal substance and the result was outstanding, exceeding all expectations!

The importance of this discovery is that it brings us closer to discovering exactly what the Grass Juice Factor is, and possibly, in the near future, exactly how it works. It may be possible to detect Growth Factor Activators (The Grass Juice Factor) which could readily explain the increased production of fetal hemoglobin in the research mentioned above. If this succeeds, it will almost certainly lead to greater understanding
of how the body heals itself and how that process can be accelerated - naturally.

Through various scientific and clinical studies and my own modest contribution, we know of many healing properties of Dr Wheatgrass. After all, it must be one of the most useful and effective home remedies available and is a boon to any health practitioner who is prepared to try it.

But, even though it has been extensively analysed and studied, we don't yet know how or why it works so
well. The Grass Juice Factor was first discovered in the 1930’s. Although its substantially positive effects on growth and fertility were recognized at the time, the molecule or molecules responsible have never been identified.

Cereal grass has been shown to stimulate the release of human growth hormone and prolactin from anterior pituitary cells in laboratory animals. The pituitary is the gland at the base of the brain that controls the body's
hormonal system. This influences growth and numerous other physiological and biochemical functions of the body. It also has powerful antioxidant effects.

Human growth hormone stimulates growth factors that are responsible for numerous physiological and immunological processes in humans and animals. For example:

Immunomodulation ("normalisation" of damaged cells and tissues)

Bone growth

Protein synthesis in muscle and other tissue

Antioxidant effects

Enhances fat metabolism to reduce weight

Stabilizes blood glucose

Preserves nerve cell function

Joint protection

Anti-atherosclerotic effects

Enhances immunity

Restores skin thickness

In ageing, they help delay frailty, muscle atrophy, relative obesity, and increased frequency of fractures

All of the above effects have been observed and recorded by medical scientists and practitioners. My own research and broad clinical experience using Dr Wheatgrass extract suggests the presence of multiple growth factor activity such as Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, (demonstrates many of the effects mentioned above), Fibrocyte Growth Factor (wound healing) and Hemangiopoietin Growth Factor (stimulates bone marrow blood-producing
activity and new blood vessel growth).

In other words, it appears the Grass Juice Factor is more likely a group of biologically active precursors (chemical compounds that lead to other, usually more stable products) rather than a single molecule. These precursors may in some way stimulate various growth factors (there are many), which could in turn explain why Dr Wheatgrass has such a broad spectrum of activity.

The point is that
although one can't ignore the nutritional benefits of Dr Wheatgrass, I strongly believe that the most important elements in Dr Wheatgrass are the small, as yet unidentified biologically active molecules that give you and millions of others who take Dr Wheatgrass daily, continuing good health.

The Dr Wheatgrass extract I use contains lower concentrations of nutritional elements, but it still works. For example, take the
“rush” that many people get immediately they take Dr Wheatgrass. This also occurs with the extract. One would not expect a nutrient to work that quickly, so there has to be some other biological active(s) responsible. I believe it is the rapid absorption of these biological actives through the mucous membrane in the mouth that, because they enter the bloodstream almost instantaneously, there is a rapid boost to the body’s immunity and
ultimately many other benefits. That's why you need to hold Dr Wheatgrass in whatever form in your mouth for a minute or two to obtain maximum benefit.Dr Wheatgrass - food for thought as well as for a healthy body.

Instead of "chlorophyll", it is probably better to think "Growth Factor Activators".
